thank you @MeasurementBlues...it looked to me these are complementary businesses but I really don't follow that market...I used Cascade probes in the lab many years ago and was really happy with them, I think it was the only product that could be used at the time to do highg-speed on-silicon measurements....Kris

Remember that the T&M business of Agilent is being split off into Keysight. As of August 1, Keysight will operate as a subsidiary of Agilent and will sever some time in November. So, any acquisitions are rather unlikely for the time being.
